About The Position

The Undersea Systems Division at Leidos is hiring a Systems Engineer in Lynnwood, Washington. The role transforms system concepts into delivered products by establishing the technical architecture needed to develop, integrate, test, and deliver products. The engineer provides technical planning, develops and allocates requirements, and oversees system hardware, software, and network architecture for system design and development. The position evaluates technical alternatives for cost, risk, and supportability and creates frameworks for systems development. The Systems Engineer performs requirements and functional analysis, defines and controls interfaces, conducts trade studies, allocates requirements, manages technical documentation, oversees configuration baselines, and manages integration and interfaces. The role calls for developing technical solutions collaboratively, analyzing customer-level requirements and their impact on end products, and resolving unclear technical problems requiring deep technical knowledge. The successful candidate works independently and with project leadership on mission-critical projects, documents results, follows systems engineering and technical development processes, and tracks risks, issues, and deviations from established configuration baselines.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, Software, or Ocean Engineering; Computer Science; Physics; or Math, and 10 or more years of relevant engineering experience, or a master's degree in one of those technical fields and 8 or more years of relevant engineering experience.
8–10 or more years of experience on a technical development project, with specific experience in systems engineering principles and practices.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and engineering documentation.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
5 or more years of experience working on integrated teams, such as cross-functional engineering teams.
Must be a U.S. citizen.
Must be able to obtain and maintain a SECRET clearance.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively, document detailed results, follow systems engineering and technical development processes, and track risks, issues, and technical deviations from an established configuration baseline.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting government, defense, energy, aviation, telecommunications, or critical infrastructure programs.
Familiarity with systems engineering toolsets such as Cameo or other systems engineering packages.
Knowledge of quality management systems and technical documentation processes.
Demonstrated experience as a Systems Engineer on a successful product development program.

Responsibilities

Perform technical analysis of system requirements and organize them into logical system and subsystem elements for development.
Create concepts of operation (CONOPS) covering system use from initiation through deployment, sustainment, and disposal.
Analyze, prepare, and maintain systems engineering models for assigned projects.
Oversee development of system and subsystem interfaces and enforce interface boundaries to support functional integration, testing, validation, and delivery.
Conduct root-cause analysis of system and equipment failures.
Support system integration, verification, validation, and acceptance testing.
Oversee preventive and corrective maintenance procedures in accordance with established standards and technical documentation.
Collect, analyze, and document technical data, and present information to project and customer leadership and technical forums.
Build, update, and make available project risks, issues, interface definitions, requirements, and the system requirements verification matrix.
Ensure technical documentation—including drawing trees, technical reports, and system technical information—is prepared, reviewed, approved, and issued according to program processes and procedures.
Perform systems requirements analysis, functional analysis, interface definition and control, trade studies, requirements allocation, technical management and documentation, configuration-baseline oversight, and integration/interface management.
